Management system of information processing apparatus, information processing apparatus, method for controlling communication of information processing apparatus, and storage medium

1. An information processing apparatus capable of communicating with an external apparatus, and executing a predetermined function based on a setting value managed by the external apparatus, the information processing apparatus comprising: a receiving unit configured to receive a use request of the predetermined function from a user; an acquisition unit configured to acquire information indicating a changed content of the setting value from the external apparatus when the external apparatus has changed the setting value; and a control unit configured to, if the receiving unit has received a use request of a function corresponding to the information in a state where the information processing apparatus has not been restarted after the acquisition unit has received the information, display a screen for prompting a restart of the information processing apparatus, wherein the control unit prohibits use of the function corresponding to the information if the restart of the information processing apparatus is not permitted after displaying the screen.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit restarts the information processing apparatus if the restart of the information processing apparatus is permitted after displaying the screen.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit permits use of the function corresponding to the information if the receiving unit has received a use request of a function different from the function corresponding to the information.

4. A control method of an information processing apparatus capable of communicating with an external apparatus, and executing a predetermined function based on a setting value managed by the external apparatus, the method comprising: receiving a use request of a predetermined function from a user; acquiring information indicating a changed content of the setting value from the external apparatus when the external apparatus has changed the setting value; and performing control, if the use request of the function corresponding to the information has been received in a state where the information processing apparatus has not been restarted after acquiring the information, to display a screen for prompting a restart of the information processing apparatus, wherein performing the control prohibits use of the function corresponding to the information if the restart of the information processing apparatus is not permitted after displaying the screen.

5. A non-transitory storage medium storing a program for causing an information processing apparatus capable of communicating with an external apparatus, and executing a predetermined function based on a setting value managed by the external apparatus, to execute a control method, the method comprising: receiving a use request of a predetermined function from a user; acquiring information indicating a changed content of the setting value from the external apparatus when the external apparatus has changed the setting value; and performing control, if the use request of a function corresponding to the information has been received in a state where the information processing apparatus has not been restarted after acquiring the information, to display a screen for prompting a restart of the information processing apparatus, wherein performing the control prohibits use of the function corresponding to the information if the restart of the information processing apparatus is not permitted after displaying the screen.
